The 6 Most Important Social Media Trends of 2017 – From Social Media Weekly

Perhaps because we’re academics we shy away from superlatives like “most import” trends of 2017. Still, this report from Social Media Weekly has some insights that are important for the work that we do. Some of the highlights include the first chart that shows just how dominant Facebook is in the Social Media scene and, related, that Facebook has nearly made it’s transition to being mobile friendly and a significant number of people access Facebook only via mobile devices. In our findings, Twitter seems to be the social network of choice for scholars, but how to drive traffic from Facebook to Twitter is a frequent discussion topic at Social Medium meetings. The importance of keeping social media (which includes blogs like this one) mobile-ready is also obvious from these findings. — The Social Mediums.Â
